‘Fear the Walking Dead’ midseason premiere: All’s well that ends water well

On the midseason premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, Walker’s people moved onto the ranch. But there was a huge problem: They didn’t even have enough water for the people who were already on the ranch.

Turns out the well was running dry. And the lack water only fueled the distrust between the ranchers and Walker’s people.

Madison and Walker traveled to a trading post in search of 10,000 gallons of supplemental water, but all they found was one Victor Strand — who needed rescuing. Without discussing it with Walker, Madison spent all of the water money to free Strand.

Because Strand knew where the damn was located, Madison said, “You’re gonna take us to this dam, get us all the water we need — a permanent solution.”

Meanwhile, the ranch is falling apart. Troy was banished for being a psychopath, but that did mean peace. In fact, Nick became the new de facto leader of the militia.

But just when it seemed like bloodshed was inevitable, Nick noticed Alicia and a small group of people trying to dig a new well. Inspired, Nick threw down his weapons and started digging. It wasn’t long before many people from both sides followed suit.

Fear the Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
